The six motivating factors that lead to job satisfaction were
identified by Herzberg as being:
1 Achievement
• specific successes, such as the successful completion of a
job, solutions to problems, vindication and seeing the results
of your work

2 Recognition
• any act of recognition, whether notice or praise (separating
recognition and reward from recognition with no reward)
3 Possibility of growth
• changes in job where professional growth potential is
increased
4 Advancement
• changes which enhance position or status at work
5 Responsibility
• being given real responsibility, matched with necessary
authority to discharge it
6 The work itself
• the actual doing of the job or phases of it.

The hygiene factors are those where people seek to avoid particular
situations, whereas the motivating factors are matched with
people’s needs to achieve self-actualisation or self-realisation.

Satisfaction of the Herzberg motivators and avoidance of problems
with the hygiene factors can help you as a manager to assess roles
and jobs within your organisations to check what job-enrichment
or empowerment you ought to contemplate to improve performance
and give individuals greater job satisfaction.
